About this episode
Gerard John Schaefer was convicted for murders he committed while he was working as a police officer. While he was convicted of murdering "only" two victims, he was suspected of many others. Schaefer exhausted his appeals while simultaneously boasting — in writing and in conversation — of having murdered over eighty women and girls, although the true number of victims is unknown.
